This 1945 map shows the partition of Germany by the Allied powers immediately after World War II. The dual German/English-language map is based on the German borders of 1937 and identifies which Allied country occupied which areas in 1945. Not only is this a historically significant map, it is visually striking with a bold modernist aesthetic with its black background, sans-serif fonts, and brightly colored flags of the Allied countries over each area they now dominate.
